Ca. 640-430 BC. A bronze figure of nude kouros depicted kneeling on a flat block. His hands rest on his thighs, his head slightly down, with fine face details, almond-shaped eyes, a pronounced nose, and a mysterious smile. His hair rendered by incised parallel lines, drawn back and falling at the upper back. Kouros is a type of statue in ancient Greek art, depicting a naked young man. The naked figures of young men testify to an interest in the beauty of the human body. They are models of the human figure, not portraits of specific people.Size: L:110mm / W:35mm ; 210gProvenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1970s.
